Hi Vod! I solved my problem! Hurrraaa!!!!

I think my experience will be useful to others!

The whole problem was that the files were launcher in another folder. When I moved the files to a folder launcher NHL04, the program earned the good! Only the game menu cropped, and when i play in game a full resolution!

Enter in his instructions that the files to be loaded into the folder NHL04. And most do not have such problems!

Thank you for your work!

How can I ever thank you? Do you have a WebMoney purse?

That's normal. Master_Tool.exe doesn't support the custom my docs path yet. I will release an update for the master tool in a few days. :)

Vod i have a question about player models.

So what i have found out about them is that with every major part comes three files in players.viv which determines certain parts in game. this i what i found out.

The first one - low-res models that the game automatically switches to for far away shots typically when a player is on the edge of the screen or zooming out in replay. Has all of the player equipment on it and is an independent file

The second one - hi-res models for close up shots and for replays but it is dependent on other files in player.viv such as the helmet and stick models.

The third one - ????

Now my question is with your launcher is it possible to make it so the game never switches from model two to one ingame? So the models look good all of the time and my no-helmets project would be one major step closer to being solved. And renaming the file and overwriting does not work i tried that for the record.

It would be possible, but it would require more reverse engineering since model LOD is handled by the engine. If this is for not drawing helmets, the easiest way would probably be to detect when the helmet is being drawn at each LOD and skip it. You'll be able to do this using LUA scripts in version 1.5, but I will see about adding a basic NoHelmets config option to 1.4.

Here's an example screenshot of the launcher forcing the game to skip rendering of helmets. This applies to all model LODs. I still need to figure out the chin straps and visors though.

Two things one when i try to download that i get a 403 - forbidden and another thing i put the helmet model over the visor model and they both work. They are just translucent. But thanks for this.

I am working on a new GUI that will allow you to set all of the settings without having to manually edit Launcher.ini.
